Important Message From NLACRC

Dear NLACRC Community,

Later this week, the Department of Developmental Services (DDS) will be releasing a directive urging all regional centers to actively support individuals and families in light of recent events. We are sharing this in advance to ensure our community are prepared and informed.

Please take a moment to read the DDS Directive at the link below:
Message to the Community: Protecting Access to Services and Supports for ALL Californians : CA Department of Developmental Services

Given reports that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may receive information from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding individuals without legal status, it is critical that we reassure our community: regional centers do not track or report immigration status.

In this interim period, we will be taking the following steps to ensure continuity of care and stability for the individuals we serve:

At the same time, we want to take this opportunity to remind the community about the confidentiality and privacy we are entrusted to protect as a regional center. At NLACRC, we take the privacy of individuals receiving services seriously and are committed to safeguarding their information. Regional Centers and service providers are legally required, in accordance with federal and state privacy laws, to protect the information of all individuals receiving services.

This means we are prohibited by law from disclosing any information about the individuals we support and their families to anyone who might call or email and request it—except in specific legal circumstances.

Per Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 4514, disclosure of confidential information and records requires written consent from the individual served or someone with legal authority to provide consent on their behalf.

On May 14, 2025, the Department of Developmental Services issued a directive to all regional centers regarding access to client information. Regional Centers and service providers are required to follow this directive at all times, whether providing services in private settings or public locations.

NLACRC is here to provide reassurance, information, and resources to our staff, service providers, and the community. Additional information and tools can be found on our website:

We stand united together.

Resources for ALL Californians

California is home to individuals and families who are US citizens, refugees, immigrants with and without documentation, or with temporary visas for education or employment.  All Californians are entitled to services to support people with developmental and intellectual disabilities under California’s Lanterman Act, after their eligibility is established by a nonprofit regional center and the use of other possible help has been completely explored. As of February 2025, the use of these services usually does not interfere with the immigration status of non-citizen participants. If non-citizens interested in these services have questions about impacts to their immigration status, they may wish to review this gabay at sumangguni sa isang tagapagbigay ng serbisyong legal sa imigrasyon.

The resources on the Governor’s Immigration and California Families webpage can help answer questions and provide support for individuals and families.  Additional information also is available at the links below:
